Installation of the IS4910 software is a two-stage process. In the first stage, the IS4910 software
development kit (SDK) must be installed on a Windows PC. To perform the first-stage installation, insert
the IS4910 CD into the CD drive of the Windows PC and follow the on-screen instructions. (If the auto-
run feature is disabled on your Windows PC, run setup.exe from the root directory on the CD.)
Upon installation of the IS4910 SDK, the folder “VuQuest2D SDK” is created in the Windows
“Start\Programs” menu. This folder contains the shortcuts to
• Device Setup Tool, which can be used to download IS4910 software components to the target
device
• The file VuQuest2D.ini, used in configuring the IS4910 device driver
• The file vuqdemo.vcw, which is the Embedded Visual C++ project workspace file of the Demo
Application
• IS4910 SDK License Agreement
• About application, which can be used to display version information of the installed IS4910 SDK
• IS4910 SDK Programmer's manual
Once the IS4910 SDK is installed, the target device-specific software components must be transferred
and installed on the target device. Please refer to the following subsection Downloading Software to the
Target Device for details.
Downloading Software to the Target Device
The IS4910 camera software components that may need to be transferred to the target device are:
• Image Acquisition Device Driver DLL (vuqdrv.dll);
• Camera Support Library DLL (camdll.dll);
• Driver Registration Application (vuqreg.exe) along with the target-specific
Driver Initialization File (VuQuest2D.ini)
• Demo Application (camtest.exe).
Note that the pre-compiled Demo Application is statically linked with the Camera Support Library, which
means that it does not require the Camera Support Library DLL to be installed on the target device.
Downloading the Camera Support Library DLL to the target device, however, may be necessary if a user
application is using it.
There are many ways of downloading software files to a target device, depending on software and
hardware options supported by the target system. For example, software files can be downloaded to the
target device using MS ActiveSync connection, Ethernet, RS232, Media card and so on. The easiest way
is to use MS ActiveSync connection.
